Yangon: Myanmar's government pledged on Wednesday to work in cooperation with all sides to enable stability and peace in the post-election period, according to an announcement of the President's Office.
The President's Office made the pledge hours after National League for Democracy (NLD) leader Aung San Suu Kyi called for dialogue with Myanmar's three key figures - President U Thein Sein, Parliament Speaker U Shwe Mann and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Services Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing.
The President's Office said the government will respect the choice and decision of the people made in the three-tier general elections on Sunday and will carry out transfer of power calmly and peacefully.
With regard to Suu Kyi's call for the prompt dialogue with the three figures, the office said mutual coordination and discussion will be made after the complete release of the election result by the Union Election Commission (UEC).
U Thein Sein also extended his congratulation to Suu Kyi and her party for taking the lead in Sunday's general elections. A majority of the parliamentary seats have been won by NLD.
The statement thanked all stakeholders for participation in the elections and making it a success, praising and honouring Suu Kyi for her efficiency in winning people's support for her party.
Suu Kyi proposed to hold the talks with the three figures on the basis of national reconciliation and aimed at calmly and peacefully realising the desire of the people expressed through Sunday's general elections.
In response to Suu Kyi's call, U Shwe Mann offered cooperation in building a politically stable, peaceful, prosperous and developed country.
Response from Min Aung Hlaing was yet to follow.
